Samsung Galaxy S7 / S7 edge - View / Restrict Data Usage by App

Here's how to view / restrict the amount of data an app on your Samsung S7 edge uses.
Some apps depend on background data (transferring data when not directly in use). Restricting background data may cause those apps to stop functioning unless a Wi-Fi connection is available.
  1. From a Home screen, swipe up or down from the center of the display to access the apps screen.
    These instructions only apply to Standard mode and the default Home screen layout.
  2. Navigate:
    Settings Settings icon
    Connections
    Data usage
    .
  3. From the Mobile section, tap
    Mobile data usage
    .
  4. Select an app (below the usage graph) then view the usage.
    To restrict the app from using data in the background, tap the Allow background data usage switch to turn off Switch off.
